DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION MISSION
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1
WE RECOGNIZE THE PATIENT AS AN INDIVIDUAL RESULTING FROM HIS OR HER GENETICS, LIFE EXPERIENCE, HABITS, BELIEFS, AND EMOTIONS; AND AS A MEMBER OF HIS OR HER FAMILY COMMUNITY. THE APPLICATION OF COMPREHENSIVE CARE IS ON A PERSONAL LEVEL. WE BECOME ACQUAINTED WITH OUR PATIENT AS A PERSON AND SEEK TO UNDERSTAND HIS OR HER PROBLEMS AND NEEDS -PHYSICAL, EMOTIONAL, SPIRITUAL, AND SOCIAL. AS OF 2012, DCI EMPLOYS APPROXIMATELY 5,000 PEOPLE AND PROVIDES DIALYSIS CARE TO 15,001 PATIENTS IN MORE THAN 210 CLINICS LOCATED IN 28 STATES THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES. DCI, SERVIING AS THE LARGEST NON-PROFIT DIALYSIS PROVIDER IN THE US, IS NOTED FOR PROVIDING QUALITY CARE. THE UNITED STATES RENAL DATA SYSTEM (USRDS) 2012 ATLAS NOTES THAT DCI HAS LOWER HOSPITALIZATION AND MORTALITY RATES THAN OTHER PROVIDERS. "BY UNIT AFFILIATION AMONG THE LDOS, DCI CONTINUES TO HAVE THE LOWEST RATIOS FOR BOTH HOSPITALIZATION AND MORTALITY." DCI OFFERS ALLMODALITIES OF END STAGE RENAL DISEASE (ESRD) TREATMENT, WHICH INCLUDE IN-CENTER HEMODIALYSIS, IN-CENTER SELF-CARE HEMODIALYSIS, HOME HEMO DIALYSIS, CONTINUOUS AMBULATORY PERITONEAL DIALYSIS, AND CONTINUOUS CYCLING PERITONEAL DIALYSIS. IN 2012, DCI PROVIDED A TOTAL OF 2,243,387 TREATMENTS. DCI WAS ESTABLISHED AS A NONPROFIT CORPORATION, HOPEFULLY TO GENERATE FUNDS FOR RESEARCH IN ORDER THAT THE METHODS FOR TREATMENT OF ESRD PATIENTS MIGHT BE IMPROVED. WE ARE NOT CONTENT TO DIALYZE THE NEXT GROUP OF PATIENTS IN THE SAME IMPERFECT WAY THAT THE LAST GROUP WAS DIALYZED WITHOUT AT LEAST MAKING THE ATTEMPT TO BETTER THE PATIENT'S LOT THROUGH RESEARCH. AS A COROLLARY TO THIS, EDUCATION OF ESRD HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS IS ANOTHER GOAL TO WHICH DCI RESOURCES ARE DEDICATED TO SUPPORT. DCI'S RESEARCH COMMITMENT INCLUDES PROVIDING A COLLABORATIVE RELATIONSHIP IN THE CONDUCT OF CLINICAL TRIALS BETWEEN DCI CLINICS, PHYSICIAN/INVESTIGATORS, AND THE PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY. IN AN EFFORT TO FACILITATE THE BEST CARE AND MAKE AVAILABLE TO OUR PATIENTS STATE OF THE ART CLINICAL STUDIES, DCI HAS ESTABLISHED THE OFFICE OF CLINICAL RESEARCH. OUR EXPERIENCE IN CLINICAL RESEARCH IS A VALUABLE RESOURCE FOR NEPHROLOGY PHYSICIAN/INVESTIGATORS. WE HAVE EXPERT KNOWLEDGE IN FEDERAL REGULATIONS, HIPAA, MEDICARE CLINICAL TRIAL POLICY, GOOD CLINICAL PRACTICE, AND FEDERAL WIDE ASSURANCES. OUR OFFICE PROVIDES ALL OF THE RESOURCES NECESSARY TO CONDUCT CLINICAL TRIALS IN AN EFFICIENT, SAFE MANNER, WHILE INSTILLING INDUSTRY BEST PRACTICES AND PRODUCING QUALITY DATA. AS A NON-PROFIT 501 (C)(3) ORGANIZATION, DCI DEDICATES A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF ALL MONIES GENERATED TO BE UTILIZED FOR KIDNEY RELATED RESEARCH, EDUCATION, AND OTHER USES CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPANY CHARTER. SUCH PROGRAMS MIGHT INVOLVE RESEARCH STUDIES, TRAINING, EDUCATION, CLINICAL, AND PATIENT CARE ACTIVITIES. IN 2012, DCI CONTRIBUTED OVER ELEVEN MILLION DOLLARS TO RESEARCH, APPROXIMATELY $500,000 TO EDUCATION, AND OVER FOUR MILLION DOLLARS TO DEVELOPMENT. SUCH CONTRIBUTIONS HAVE A DIVERSE AND POTENTIALLY POWERFUL IMPACT ON SOCIETY. IN SUPPORT OF RESEARCH, DCI CONTRIBUTED ONE MILLION DOLLARS TOWARD THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE EDWARD T. SCHROEDER CHAIR IN NEPHROLOGY AT UPSTATE MEDICAL UNIVERSITY. DCIA HAS PROVIDED $500,000 TOWARD THE BLOOD PRESSURE IN DIALYSIS (BID) STUDY IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE CLEVELAND CLINIC AND SATELLITE HEALTHCARE. THE STUDY IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE HYPERTENSION IS A MAJOR CAUSE OF CARDIOVASCULAR (CV) MORBIDITY AND MORTALITY. ALTHOUGH STUDIES IN THE GENERAL POPULATION HAVE DEMONSTRATED A CONTINUOUS REDUCTION IN CARDIOVASCULAR RISK WITH EACH MMHG DROP IN SYSTOLIC BLOOD PRESSURE (SBP), MULTIPLE OBSERVATIONAL STUDIES CONDUCTED IN HEMODIALYSIS (HD) PATIENTS HAVE DEMONSTRATED THAT PATIENTS WITH MILD TO MODERATE HYPERTENSION MAY HAVE DECREASED MORTALITY COMPARED TO THOSE WITH NORMAL BLOOD PRESSURE (BP). IT IS UNCLEAR IF AGGRESSIVE BP LOWERING WILL BE HARMFUL OR BENEFICIAL. A WELL-DESIGNED RANDOMIZED CONTROL TRIAL (RCT) IS NEEDED TO ANSWER THIS IMPORTANT QUESTION. (SOURCE WWW.CLINICALTRIALS.GOV) DCI IS ALSO A LOYAL SUPPORTER OF THE LOCAL AND NATIONAL KIDNEY FOUNDATIONS WHICH PROVIDE RESOURCES TO THE DIALYSIS COMMUNITY. DCI CREATED AND MAINTAINS A FUND SPECIFICALLY TO PROVIDE GRANTS AND RESEARCH SUPPORT FOR YOUNG INVESTIGATORS IN THE FIELD OF KIDNEY DISEASE. THE DCI PAUL TESCHAN RESEARCH FUND (PTRF) UTILIZES A PEER REVIEW PROCESS TO FUND SCIENTIFIC APPLICATIONS FOR STUDENTS AND YOUNG INVESTIGATORS WHO OTHERWISE WOULD HAVE LIMITED ACCESS TO RESEARCH RESOURCES. APPROXIMATELY $800,000 WAS DONATED BY THE PTRF IN 2012 TO SUPPORT THESE RESEARCH STUDIES. TO HEIGHTEN PUBLIC AWARENESS REGARDING KIDNEY DISEASE, DCI MAINTAINS A CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE EDUCATION PROGRAM THAT IS FREE TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC. AS PART OF DCI'S COMMUNITY SERVICE EFFORTS, DCI SPONSORED CKD EDUCATION ALLIANCE. THIS PROGRAM PROVIDED EDUCATION TO HIGH SCHOOL, COLLEGE, AND VOCATIONAL SCHOOL STUDENTS IN THE COMMUNITY REGARDING THE RISK FACTORS FOR KIDNEY DISEASE, PREVENTION STRATEGIES, TREATMENT OPTIONS, AND CAREER OPPORTUNITIES. DCI STAFF TAUGHT TWO COURSES IN THE CLASSROOM SETTING AND PROVIDED AN OPEN HOUSE FOR PRACTICAL FOLLOW UP. STUDENTS WERE ASKED TO WRITE ESSAYS ABOUT THEIR NEW FOUND KNOWLEDGE. EACH AREA AWARDED $250 TO THE BEST WRITTEN ESSAY. THE CKD EDUCATION ALLIANCE MADE A DIFFERENCE IN THE LIVES OF STUDENTS ACROSS 25 CITIES IN THE US. IN SUPPORT OF THE PEDIATRIC PATIENT, DCI ESTABLISHED CAMP OKAWEHNA IN 1975. CAMP OKAWEHNA IS A WEEK LONG SUMMER CAMP IN THE NASHVILLE AREA THAT OFFERS ON-SITE PERITONEAL AND HEMODIALYSIS TREATMENTS TO ABOUT 100 CHILDREN WHO OTHERWISE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO ENJOY A CHILDHOOD CAMP EXPERIENCE. DCI EMPLOYEES VOLUNTEER THEIR TIME TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE IN EVERY FACET OF THE CAMP EXPERIENCE. CAMPERS COME FROM TENNESSEE, TEXAS, MISSOURI, SOUTH CAROLINA, AND ALABAMA TO THE GROUNDS OF "CAMP O". DCI ALSO SUPPORTS THE EDUCATION OF HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS INTERESTED IN MEDICAL PROFESSIONS. SINCE 2002, DCI HAS PARTNERED WITH GLENCLIFF HIGH SCHOOL TO IDENTIFY JUNIORS AND SENIORS WHO EXPRESS AN INTEREST IN THE HEALTH PROFESSION. A DCI COORDINATOR PARTNERS WITH THE SCIENCE TEACHERS TO BECOME INVOLVED IN THE DELIVERY OF THE CURRICULUM. STUDENTS WHO EXPRESS AN INTEREST IN LEARNING MORE ABOUT DIALYSIS ARE GIVEN AN OPPORTUNITY TO WORK IN A DCI FACILITY AS PATIENT CARE TECHNICIAN INTERNS DURING SUMMER BREAK. FOR OUR EFFORTS, DCI HAS BEEN NOMINATED FOR TEH ACADEMY PARTNERSHIP OF TE YEAR IN THE HEALTH PARTNERSHIP COUNCIL FOR THE ACADEMY OF MEDICAL SCIENCES AND RESEARCH BY METRO NASHVILLE PUBLIC SCHOOLS. SINCE 1988, DCI HAS SPONSORED A SUMMER INTERNSHIP FOR PRE-MEDICAL STUDENTS IN TEH CLINICAL AREA OF ORGAN TRANSPLANTATION. OVER THE LAST 15 YEARS, THE SUMMER INTERNSHIP PROGRAM HAS EXPANDED TO 12 CITIES ALL ACROSS THE UNITED STATES, AND HAS GIVEN OVER 150 STUDENTS THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPAND THEIR KNOWLEDGE OF THE MEDICAL FIELD. THE INTERNSHIP INCLUDES SHADOWING PHYSICIANS ON ROUNDS IN THE HOSPITAL, OBSERVING AND ASSISTING IN AN OUTPATIENT/CLINIC FACILITY, OBSERVING THE COORDINATION OF A TRANSPLANT, AND SCRUBBING IN DURING TRANSPLANT AND SURGICAL OPERATIONS. IN ADDITION, STUDENTS VISIT THE LOCAL ORGAN PROCUREMENT ORGANIZATION (OPO) AND HLA LAB. PARTICIPANTS MAY HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO COMPLETE DATA COLLECTION FOR THE TRANSPLANT SERVICE OR WORK ON A CLINICAL RESEARCH PROJECT. THE PURPOSE OF THIS INTERNSHIP IS TO EXPOSE THE STUDENT TO HOSPITAL AND OUTPATIENT ENVIRONMENTS, AS WELL AS TO SPECIFIC AREAS OF MEDICINE SUCH AS SURGURY AND CLINICAL RESEARCH. THESE EXPERIENCES ARE DESIGNED TO ENCOURAGE STUDENTS TO PURSUE A CAREER IN MEDICINE. DCI RECOGNIZES THE REWARDS OF HIGHER EDUCATION AND HAS SUPPORTED THAT ENDEAVOR SINCE 1995 THROUGH THE DCI SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM. IN 2012, DCI AWARDED A TOTAL OF $32,000 IN SCHOLARSHIPS AMONG 13 RECIPIENTS.
